If you are experiencing a personal crisis, you don’t need to walk through it alone.
A Stephen Minister is ready to walk beside you...
“Bear one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
Stephen
Ministers are volunteer lay ministers who provide one-on-one spiritual
and emotional care focusing on their care receivers’ needs. They offer
care, support, and encouragement to people whose lives have been turned
upside down by crisis or tragedy. They minister through active
listening, a caring presence, and prayer.
Applicants are
carefully selected because their gifts, capabilities, and life
experiences compliment their interest in care giving. They are equipped
with over 50 hours of intensive training.
Confidentiality
Stephen
Ministry is a confidential ministry. Those receiving care can be
confident that their identity and the issues they discuss in the caring
relationship will remain private.
